为什么要学好拼音?
Time/Location: 4:05-4:50 P.M. /Room: B125
学好拼音是为了学会正确的发音,而正确的发音是中文学习的重要组成部分,对理解、记忆中文有很大的帮助. 同时, 在电子时代, 学好拼音,才能把中文变成电子文本, 快速地交流传递. 为了帮助低年级同学加强、巩固学过的拼音,中文学校计划在 2014年秋季增开拼音强化班, 欢迎 1年级以上的同学报名参加,课程将以强化拼音的听说读写练习为主.
Tuition: $50/6 weeks
Please note that the final list of the enrichment programs is subject to change. We will have to cancel the class if the number of registered students is less than 8. Please let us know if you have any questions on these courses.
Have a wonderful weekend!
